I guess in some twisted way, a stranger can understand you more than you understand yourself.  After sloppily introducing myself, he took me out to the place Mae and I were gonna go for breakfast. 

He told me that I hadn't looked like I'd eaten anything.

We got the food to go and sat in his car eating out breakfasts and he turns to me,

"What's wrong Vinnie?  You don't seem like the type to cry a lot," Anthony asked turning to me.

Do I tell him?  He doesn't look like one to judge.  Here I am, in somewhat of a strangers car, eating breakfast, about to tell him my biggest secret.  I figure I don't have much else to lose, here we go,

"I just had my first kiss, it was with the wrong person,"  

Way to chicken Vin. 

Anthony smiles sympathetically, almost empathetically.  I immediately go dead silent after saying it, trying to find the confidence to tell him straight up.  Chewing the inside of his look he looked back up at me, 

"Wrong person?"  He asks, trying to pry more into me.

It's not that hard, you've done it once.

"I'm gay," I said immediately letting a long breath go.

"There, now you can breathe,"  Anthony laughs, looking down at the pancake on the plastic plate on his lap.  He blinks a few times and laughs lightly,

"Me too."  He whispered, not making eye contact.  I smiled.  God, this feels amazing.  Finally, somebody who's in the boat with me.  He clears his throat and looks at me. 

"T-there's gotta be more," he says, "Were you wanting it to be somebody?"

He's good.

"Yeah, there's this new kid at my school," I smile thinking of that brown haired goofball.  His precious smile, his laugh-

"Damn, he's got you wrapped around his finger,"  He laughed shoving me lightly, "You're blushing."  

"You got anyone?" I ask, and I see his pupils immediately dilate, as he shakes his head no.

"Oh come on! There's no escaping it now," I fold my arms and turn away from his as if to shun him until he tells me.

"There's this guy named Jaden.  I highly doubt he's into me... I just- I don't know its silly."  He shook his head.

We spent about two hours in his car talking about our hopeless crushes and laughing about it.  Definitely a way to chill out after the whole situation, which still made me sick to my stomach.    

I walked in the house seeing my mom and dad on the couch watching a movie.

"How was breakfast with Mae?"  Mom asked giving me a warm smile.

"Uh- yeah, it was great."  I say, choppier than I would've liked, and ran upstairs to play Call of Duty.  Sitting down in the chair where I once sat with Mae.  How could I not have seen it?  She literally sat on my lap and I just thought it was Mae being Mae.

I put my headphones on and got lost in my own little world.  That distracted me for about three hours until my eyes began to strain a bit and I got a headache.  

I don't know if the headache was from my hectic morning or what, but it began in the back of my head and made its way behind my eyes.

I decided a nap would be the best solution so I curled up into my covers and hit the hay.

I didn't know how to feel.  

Sorry it was short :(
